LCD with capacitive touch + microcontroller integration ($$$)

6v6gt:
OK. I see what you are doing. Here is a raw screen which could work for you (subject to getting libraries for the lcd and touch part and designing board)
I just did a search on aliexpress for "lcd touch screen capacitive" . At least there appears to be some information with it.

Thank you 6b6gt for taking a look around. I've done a lot of research myself. This is wrong proportions and it's still landscape :frowning:

Best LCDs I found are the portrait 3.97" (4") and maybe 5" (I haven't looked too deep into 5")

Maybe it's just me being odd, but it seems strange to use a lovely big LCD and then slap a dirty great cover over half the pixels. Why not just draw the frame on the screen in software and save a manufacturing step. Drawing it would also allow future modifications/tweaks/updates etc.

Good point. We already have an app, so there is a full screen there. What I am aiming with this remote is going towards the future (touch + haptic), but still retain a little of that oldschool feel, with "buttons" and screen.

I see it's a new trend in the automotive industry. Screen button + haptic

Hope it makes sense
